I'Tavius Mathers updates teammates and fans via Twitter, says he's ok

The Jacksonville Jaguars got a big scare Tuesday morning when undrafted rookie running back I’Tavius Mathers was carted off of the practice field after reportedly dealing with some neurologic symptoms which concerned the staff. Fans will now be happy to know that Mathers is currently doing fine as he updated everyone via Twitter.

Thanks everyone for the prayers I really do appreciate it but I'm fine!!!

Mathers, 23, went undrafted in this year’s draft out of Middle Tennessee University. According to the Jags organization, he was completely conscious while being transported to the team’s hospital, which was encouraging and it’s now good to have some type of update on him.

In all likelihood, the Jaguars will have more on his status in the morning as they will take the field for Day 6 of training camp at 10:30 a.m.

Update:

Mathers was released from the hospital for what was classified as a cervical spinal cord injury, per Mike Kaye.
